If someone has a vested interest in making sure Lanka is played I invite them to create a "looking for replacement" thread. Otherwise I'm putting him on AI before the next host.

I asked this privately, but where can the players view staling data? I think all players have an interest in who stales each turn, not just the game admin.

As far as stales beyond the last turn I can only reference the turn history since the game was last reset by looking on the sever manually. There is no way for users to see the stale history beyond the last turn.

is there a record of how many stales? Or just the most recent turn stales?

I would also like at least a 12 hour notification if a player is going to gi AI.

Obviously the AI is not going to honor NAP's and it dramatically changes how one plays vis a vis that race.

For instance I saw LA Atlantis on AI took several MA Oceania provinces its 1st turn on ai. Did MA Oceania have any notice of this change in leadership?

Since they were allies the entire game I doubt their mutual borders were guarded.

Default Re: Perpetuality - Sub for Lanka


I can take over Lanka temporarily until a perm sub is found.

I don't know anything on that side of the map, so would be playing as a neutral growth nation initially unless provoked.

All past alliances and grudges would need to be renewed although I would hope that those with existing NAPs would at least give moderate acclimation time before jumping in. If there has been some opportunistic poaching so be it, further such activity will be considered provocation.

If there is no major outcry I will request the pw from Coobe, letting him know I would take over due to the stales.

Only the most recent stales. Technically I could go through all the backups and document all the stales, but I'm not.

I always give people notice on the thread before nations get placed on AI (I did for LA Atlantis).

Ok thanks Velusion.

LLamabeast has his site set up so it automatically lists the stales of every player. It may or may not be an easy thing to implement, so you may want to chat with him if interested.

Actually the game puts out a tiny file called stats (not sure why its called that) which does nothing except list the nations and say if they did their turn, staled, or are computer.

Default Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)

well,

I am going to act as if Lanka is going on AI for my next turn. If a sub is found let me know.

The once great LA Atlantis Alliance has crumbled.

I do not see Lanka's position as remotely as good as when K left. They have lost a capital, another castle, their pretender, their alliance, and numerous provinces.
